FAQs for Bowling

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

How much do I need to move?

Only the area we’re working on. The rest is covered and protected.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are there extra charges for Bowling?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Usually. A photo lets us check what’s possible.

Worktop repair in Bowling without replacing anything

We repair worktops in place. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. Our repair technicians work on laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz, and people most often call us about dents and gouges and scratches and knife marks.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Bowling. The price depends on:

Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The material and finish
Where the damage is and how we get to it
The colour and finish to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Where you are, by postcode
A photo taken from further back

For a price in Bowling, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Bradford and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
